“When you understand how man really defends his intellectual ideas and how emotional he gets about it, you should realize that the first thing in psychotherapy is not to try to compel him to change his idea; rather you go along with it and change it in a gradual fashion and create situations wherein he himself willingly changes his thinking.”

Milton Erickson

IHG in India

During October 25-27 the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis in India held the 9th National Convention with over 500 hypnotherapists, Doctors and students of Psychology. Seminars and workshops were conducted by members of IHG. Ulf Sandström, Fredrik Praesto and Gunilla Hamne:

Innovative Hypnosis for PTS in Africa
Hypnosis and NLP from a Scandinavian Perspective
HOAM – Hands On Anxiety Management for Dental Care

HOAM for excellence in dental care is a two day workshop that teaches simple but very efficient hands on hypnotic techniques, Trauma Tapping and applied Neuro Linguistics for dental workers. It is designed to allow you to handle your patients as effortlessly as possible in regards to being comfortable from the moment they arrive until they leave.

Most therapists working with clients in hypnosis will sooner or later encounter the strange and often quite surprising phenomena labelled as spontaneous regression.

Being well trained, the therapist immediately follows the client keeping in mind Milton Erickson’s advice “Accept and Utilize”. This regression can be to the clients’ childhood or, even further back in time, to a past life.

There is a technique you have refined, the Swan – can you describe it in short?

“Probably not , but I wanted something that I could use with every single person that walks through the door immediately. In a way that I might be able to connect with their SC without going anywhere near hypnosis. The Swan for me fits the bill perfectly. I use it in every opening. I simply tell the SC that I have no expectation in any way, shape or form that anything is going to happen, but just for the hell of it, do you think you might want to try this?

Provocative Change Works consists of three approaches to shift clients from “a stuck state” to a more fluid state, allowing for greater freedom and choice. This conversational way of working requires the practitioner to pay close attention to client responses, whilst maintaining their own excellent state control

These are
1. Provoking or stimulating client responses by verbal and non verbal interactions
2. Using non-specific or indirect Hypnosis and metaphor explorations – to create “fluid states” for the client
3. Time Framing – Promoting new ways of moving through time and space

Intellect versus Emotions
